We just rolled out an update for Hoop.la that adds support for multiple calendars per site. This also applies to groups within a Hoop.la site.  Each group can have multiple calendars.  Previously, we only supported one calendar per site or group.

The new stuff in this update:

Multiple Calendars

Calendar admins can create additional calendars and users can view all calendars together or filter to view a particular calendar only.

You may notice in the screenshot above that there is a separate birthday calendar and chat event calendar. Previously, those were options on the one calendar. Now they are their own dedicated calendars so that users can filter specifically for those event types very easily.

Each calendar you create has its own notification options. Please note, however, that the birthday and chat event calendars are "special" in that they are auto-populated. Events are not added to them manually and users cannot follow those special calendars.

Calendar List Mode

The calendar now has two distinct display modes- a new default Event List mode and the old Calendar Grid mode.  The new Event List mode displays all events in a vertical list on the page, with the ability to control the time frame.

Calendar List Widget

We've added a new Calendar List widget that allows you to display a list of all of your site's calendars.  

Support For Moderation Rules

You can specify specific calendars in your Content Moderation rules.

Calendar Specific Permissions

To provide you with the utmost flexibility and control, each calendar has its own permissions for viewing and adding events to the calendar. And you can even make these permissions "premium" if you like.

There were other minor improvements and bug fixes in this release, as well.
